Light hazey yellow with lage electric white foamy head leaving decent lacing and sticking around for quite a while. Smell is of bannana, bubble gum, and clove, not overpowering in the nose but still a very good dose of what the style should have. This one is a tasty thirst quencher for sure! Everythng in the nose comes in nicely and there is an overall gently sweetness to go with it. My one big grip is that there is a bit of a watery feel (not taste) to this one.

Poursa lighter yeloow with a light haze lighter head for a weizen as well,aroma is clovey and a little mineral tinge to it.Taste was lemony with some nice spiciness to it but where is the banana flavors the bottle says are in there?That being said this is a decent brew and incredably easy to drink even for the drinkable style.I would get a gain on a hot summer day.

A lighter color weizen, closer to a whitbier. Minimal head like a whitbier, too. Normal hefe scent - wheaty, citrus, yeast. There's not too much to say about this one. A textbook weizen, across the board. Its refreshing, its good, but there's nothing special about it to differentiate it from 1,000 other local microbrew hefeweizens.

Big bottle that is now almost obsolete due to their new bottling, grabbed a whole buncha goodies after the Stoudt's fest on June 12th. (well, stumbled over the next morning to grab em'!)

Very cloudy and pale golden, looks like a long island iced tea (not that I drink that crap, just look at others over my pints!) Amazing aroma of yeast, banana, chardonnay, spiceyness (maybe a cinnamon or nutmeg?) Very nice and crisp scent! First taste I get sassafrass! So very light and refreshing... not heavy, but enough body to keep me happy. Incredibly drinkable. The lemon wedge I pop into it just brings out the flavors even more, makes them even more pronounced. (I love a lemon in my wheats, feel it just adds to the experience) Sat out back sippin this with my beer bud, and we actually noticed a major taste difference between my pint with the wedge squeezed into it, and his with a slice just-a-floating, and I dont mean a citrus taste... the one without the squeeze of the lemon had more bananna scent to it, the one with the squeeze had more intensity of flavor- much more excitement going on in it. This is just a great drinking beer, full of flavors and scents, just so very enjoyable!

Ah...this is the lawnmower beer I've been looking for...thanks for the treat Buckspin.
Pours a golden color w/ less than a half finger of bright white head...disappears very quickly and has no lace.
For the style, a decent amount of scents hit the nose...some banana, but more spice than anything w/ just a hint of citrus hop.
Taste is great...juicy cloves w/ that banana flavor on the back end.
Very subtle malt sweetness in the finish...mouthfeel is average and the carbonation is right on the money.
Could easily drink a number of these on a summer afternoon...another fine offering from Carol and the folks at Stoudt's.

This is from the Stoudt's Variety case I got at the Beer Mart. I drank it in a pilsner glass. Expiry date is on the bottle. (YAY!)

Pours a hazy, not cloudy, banana yellow with a one finger head of white bubbles. The head quickly drops to islands and a ring, with intermittent splotches of lacing. Looks pretty effervescent.

Very nice smells of bananas and cloves, spices like black pepper and a nice touch of wheat. Smells clean, with a hint of spicy hops.

Flavor is light bananas and cloves, nice tart wheat and citrusy lemons. Good level of residual sugar makes this not too sweet. I wouldn't mind having more hefe characteristics, this seems just a little light. There is a noticeable slight hop spiciness to this which is pleasant. Aftertaste is pretty sweet bananas, cloves, and wheat.

Mouthfeel is fairly sweet, with a medium level of carbonation. Matbe more carbonation would perk this up a bit. Great burps! Finish is a really yummy sweetness.

Overall, this is a good hefe. It would be a good introduction to the hefeweizen style for people who have never tried one. It has the banana and clove thing and the tart wheat thing. If it had more, it could have the world class thing...

Appears: Unfiltered cloudy orange sunrise otne with a short lived white creamy head. Nice patches of lacing form with each sip. Aroma: Nice clove and vanilla, some banana and citrus tones thrown in sharp wheat sweetness. Taste: Very tame but amazingly drinkable and smooth the clove and vanilla flavors are mild but the citrus sharpness cuts through overall great summer brew in fact Mad Mex has been selling it as their summer Big B Haus Summer Ale. Mouthfeel: Not as fluffy or spritzy as most German Hefes but overall medium body great session brew can't ask for much more. Drinkability: Is solid all around but I prefer more flavorful versions of the style, overall a great session in the heat of summer.

Initially yeasty - what was that. And a pour and a head! and the wheat and barley. Then the thin watery element made itself evident. Nice aroma. Altogether refreshing in summer, though not wholly satisfying. Quaffable. Light cloves, suitable carbonation.

Cloudy, yellow gold with a big bright white head that holds well but could possibly do better. It does, however, leave a good collar and a slightly whispy head across the surface as very fine bubbles from natural carbonation stream quickly to the surface. The aroma is sweet, with a good dose of bubblegum, light clove, and a limited banana... a good level of esters! The body is medium/light and the mouthfeel is soft with a tingle on the tongue. The flavor is quite rich: sweetly malty with a solid clove note, and a very low bitterness level. The finish leaves a gently lingering malt sweetness with a bit of banana & clove, and a little spice on the tongue. A very rounded, fully flavored, and satisfying weizen. Exceptional.

A tasty hefe that reminds me of Victory's Mad King Weiss. The aroma and flavor focus on clove spice with a hint of orange. The body is a touch heavy for the flavor and lower alcohol. There's a mellow, sweet malt flavor in the background and this comes off a bit like an amber ale.

Pasty yellow hue, hazy (if not cloudy), the thick white head faded to half size rather quickly but the rest had admirable retention very little lacing though, disappointing. Soft nose, pleasant mix of bubblegum, banana, clove and other little complexities (nice funky yeastiness). Inviting. The palate is immensely refreshing what an overwhelming sensation of oh yeah after the first sip. The carbonation is near perfection! The flavor profile is tasty but subdued again there is a pleasant mix of banana, very faint clove, bubblegum, wheat, citrus, pepper, a touch of sweetness, tartness in the middle great faint herbal bitterness at the finish, plenty crisp. Medium bodied. Very drinkable. This a damn nice Wheat Beer dare I say authentic Hefeweizen? Yes! Finally proof that an American brewer can make one. Recommend.

Pours a very bright cloudy golden color with a pure white head that dissipated into a light cap. The aroma is of banana, pepper/clove, with light lemon and tart apple. The taste is of banana and a slight lemon twang. Definitely resembles a Bavarian Hefe (a positive) as opposed to an American Wheat, however it is a touch watery. The feel is fairly light, again a bit watery, with tingly carbonation with a slightly astringent finish. Good job by Stoudt's making this taste like a Bavarian hefe, however it falls a touch short on flavor and feel. Still good and is very drinkable.

A very light Weizen this year with none of the citrus or clove character as in years past. The beer is thin in body with a nice Belgian lace but not much else.. the flavor was lacking and seems that possibly just a bad batch or maybe the first of the season.

Taste: For such a lively looking brew, the carbonation felt very light. Tasted like a banana split sprinkled with Wheaties, truely the breakfast of champions! Mouthfeel is crisp and dry, I enjoyed this one.

The beer pours light orange/yellow with a small head which goes away quickly. When pouring the beer, it sounded like I was pouring some soda because of the fizzyness of the carbonation. The aroma is of wheat, bananas and cloves. It tastes the same way, except for the additional taste of lemon. Mouthfeel is light but there's just a little too much carbonation, I think a little less carbonation would improve the beer. Even then, the brew still goes down pretty smooth, and it is a very drinkable beer. This wouldn't be a bad session beer.

Appearence: Pours a semi-clear cloudy yellowish copper with a nice, bleach white head that thins to a collar.

Smell: The smell is a pleasent wheat smell with an odd, medicine like astringency in the back.

Taste and Mouthfeel: The taste is a kinda unimpressive mix of wheat and medicine. It tastes fake, and more like a bland lager than a wheat beer. As it warms, the taste gets more and more unappealing, leaving a foul aftertaste. Hte mouthfeel is thin and slick.

Drinkability and Overall: Wheat beers can be some of the best beers in the world, and this one doesn't stack up compared to other examples. Usually Stoudt's is a very quality brewery, but this one dissapointed.

M + D: Soft, refreshing... and sparkling. The body does seem a touch full for a hefe, but still a decent, enjoyable brew. A reasonable sessioner, and worth looking into for an afternoon out with good company.

Sweet wheat smell. Cloudy white/yellow look with a creamy white head. It lasts (the retention) for a while but not forever. The taste is of yeast and clove. Clean fresh finish.. not as mouth as I anticipated by its appearence. The brew is a solid wheat selection for summer drinking. You are also left with a thick malt coating of the tongue and throat which also has a banana clove as well. Worth a try if you are a "wheat head" if not get the tripel instead.. trust me...
